ESRI Business Analyst Online Includes Tools for Easier Market Research - Yahoo Finance

Posted: 21 Dec 2009 08:09 AM PST

REDLANDS, Calif., Dec. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- The latest version of ESRI Business Analyst Online includes new business search capabilities and tools for more refined market research, giving business owners a thorough understanding of markets, customers, and competition.

A new and unique feature of Business Analyst Online is the comparison report. This gives users the ability to compare prospective sites to one another or to geographies in which they are located and benchmark sites against a successful site or geography. They can also compare multiple competitor locations against their own and view detailed income, population, housing, and household information for each location.

Business Analyst Online now has integrated Bing business search. This new feature allows users to search for any type of business and refine search results—for example, by street or store name—before adding the locations to a map or exporting to Excel. Users can easily find their competitors and locate businesses they can target for their products or services. Additionally, Bing online search capabilities provide users with access to the latest business listings, ensuring decisions are made using the most accurate and up-to-date information available.

Business Analyst Online also now includes a Compare Sites option for quick comparison of two areas' demographic data. Users can save time by quickly identifying the most promising sites before generating more comprehensive report packages and comparisons.

Business Analyst Online is a Web-based solution that combines geographic information system (GIS) technology with extensive demographic, consumer spending, and business data for the entire United States to deliver on-demand, boardroom-ready reports and maps.

Core J2EE Patterns: Business Delegate Pattern - informIT

Posted: 21 Dec 2009 07:55 AM PST

Problem

Problem

You want to hide clients from the complexity of remote communication with business service components.

When clients access remote business service components directly, the following problems can occur.

Clients interact directly with the business service interface. This means that when the business service code changes, the client code might need to be changed, as well. This increases the amount of maintenance you need to do and decreases the system's flexibility.

Another problem relates to network performance. When clients interact directly with the business services API, a single action in the client can require many complex fine-grained interactions with the business services. This leads to embedding business logic into the clients without any client-side caching or aggregation of services, thus reducing maintainability. Since this takes place over a network, it also decreases network performance.

A third problem is that interacting so closely with the business service API can mean the client code needs infrastructure code to interact with a remote distributed middle tier. This infrastructure code deals with naming services, such as JNDI, handling network failures, and retry logic.
